EP3 Honda Civic Type R Information

2001 EP3 Honda Civic Type R

The main features of the 2001 EP3 Honda Civic Type R:

The K20A 2.0 liter DOHC i-VTEC engine employs VTEC which adjusts intake/exhaust valve timing and lift at high engine speed and VTC (variable timing control) which continuously varies the intake valve timing phase in accordance with engine load. Exhaust gas back-pressure has been reduced through the use of a dual exhaust manifold, large-diameter piping, and high-volume mufflers. And the engine has been equipped with a short intake manifold with equal-length ducts, high-rev-compatible contenting rods, and a super-rigid crankshaft.

The close-ratio 6 speed manual transmission uses synchro-mesh cones in all gears (triple cones in 1st/2nd, double cones in 3rd to 6th.). And a torque-responsive Helical LSD was adopted.
